I don't know if anyone remembers the fact that toys coming into the US are subject to being Destroyed, but thank goodness we don't hear  much about that.I include a disclaimer in every package I ship out regardless where it goes:

Caution:This/these item/items are intended as a vintage collectible.  It has not been tested for lead or phthalates and should be kept out of the reach of Children.

UPDATE! Last week I received a replacement pony for the girl that was damaged from Figurasdeaccion. This time he sent her opened with the box folded flat and although customs did inspect it again, the pony wasn't hurt! The seller was very willing to help, responded quickly and was the one to offer another pony as compensation if I paid shipping costs. I had asked for a partial refund, but this was a good compromise.

This time it was sent insured using the paypal transaction record as a receipt and that worked really well. Honestly I think they are more careful with insured packages, and I bet if it hadn't been insured they would have ripped her head off again. :/ I did have to pay customs, but I didn't mind if it meant a safe pony!

Anywho a pic of my new girls looking cute,

Very generous of Figuras, wow! That's so wonderful that your pony arrived safe and sound this time around, too! They look so pretty.
I suppose more sellers should just debox them (as awful as that sounds ) and insure them if they are having this issue.

Nice, Congrats, blue CC is really pretty and they look so cute together.

They are very easy to debox and put back into the package, even though they are no longer MIB, they were never secured in there in the first place.  Less chance for damage at customs to the package or the pony.

Wow, stuff like that just infuriates me!    How can customs people EVER think that's okay?! Regardless or not if it's a collectable, how can they just manhandle ANYTHING like that and completely destroy it, and then get away with it!
Ugh, sorry for that rant; I'm so sorry you had to go through all that! ;-;

But after reading through the thread I'm glad it all worked out as best it could. Very nice of the seller to offer you another pony as compensation!

[mlpfan]

that is so sad:(

[willa]

So glad things worked out in the end!  Nothing like a happy pony story, enjoy your new girls xxx

I think she could qualify for a MIB even if she has been taken out for a little while, and then been put back again. she would not be MISB (mint in sealed box -hey! No sealing in the first place!) or NRFB (never removed from box) though. But a lose(ish) pony in a easy-to-open box could never have any guarranty that they havent been opened in the past (all our vennies could have been opened in the store. Example: they could quite easy fall of that carboard holding with some shaking, and would then be ratteling around inside, in need of a helping hand).
The pony is still "mint" and she is hanging out, complete, in her box just as she where when once boxed in factory = Mint In Box

Just my point of view!

I'm happy that the problems where sorted out! such a lovely pony!

most of the 'MIB' Venezuelan ponies I have seen on ebay have been photographed OUT of the box; they were left on the cardboard insert, but the pony itself was taken out for the photos, so most MIB Venezuelan ponies can't really be called NRFB.
